syn oil is used
during the first, 500 - 8000 miles (quite a range,
huh?) the rings won't
seat properly.

Even that is no guarantee if the car is used
incorrectly initially.
My mother had to have two new Datsuns re-rung at about
40,000 miles because she drove them around town, (under
30 mph) The first few thousand miles. Most usage was
start up, back out of the garage, drive one or three
miles to work, shut it off at work and repeat the
process after work. Errands and grocery stores are two
to three miles away and all speeds were 30 and under.
At 45,000 miles, the second car was using a quart of
oil every tank full of gas when the car was taken on a
trip to CA.
